I'm the same!I'm a sucker for all those cheesy romantic bits so I loved Ian and Wanda's relationship!My heart melted when he went "You.Are. Not. Leaving. Me"So cute!

I've heard (and read, here on the Lex) so much talk about how this Ian character is "so perfect", or "their favourite character EVER" and he is one of the main reasons I decided to start reading The Host! I haven't encountered him yet in the book (maybe I'm just not very far lol), but I am dying to fall in love with him, too! I've read this "You. Are. Not. Leaving. Me." quote so many times, can't wait until I come across it!

BTW, Wolf-Girl90, I LOVE your avatar thingy! It made me laugh, because I always laugh when I re-read that note from Eclipse. Lol, poor Jacob scratched his note out like 7 times! Oops, off-topic! Sorry!

Ian was amazing! Definitely the best character in the book and now on my list of fictional men I would love to have! I think I loved him from the moment he felt sorry for bruising Wanda! I had already been crying, but when he said that he got to hold her I started crying really hard! I want my very own Ian!

The thing that really gets me about Ian is that he's this unbelievably great guy, but at the same time he feels real too. As much as I swoon over Edward, I'm often like, "yeah, right. no real guy would ever do that." But with Ian, it's tangible...

I totally agree! Edward is awesome but too perfect! Ian is amazing but still acts like a normal guy! He is jealous, but still willing to share if he has to. He is strong but gentle. He is observant but not always. I mean the guy could totally exist!

Sarah, I knew it wouldn't be long before you made it over to this thread! I totally agree, Edward would be my perfect man in an ideal world, but he is SO perfect that it would never happen.

Ian could totally be real, though it'd be really tough to track him down and hope he's single! Lucky for Wanda she didn't have to compete with a bunch of other human girls, otherwise Ian would have been snatched up faster than Gilles Marini.

I100%agree with you on that, hell I'm already searching for Ian.

I swear I ever never read such an amazing book. The Host was actually the first book to make me cry. I have had others make me cry but it never fails that if I reread those I won't cry. Yet, with The Host I will cry everytime. I mostly cry when ian is begging her not go, and when Mel says good-bye and calls Wanda her sister. *sniffles* It gets me everytime!

Jace Lightwood, Edward Cullen, Ian O'Shea, and Jasper Cullen.....these are the only men I need in my life!
